Names the weave that bundles the legs
Leg weave is the short name for the leg weave pass — naming the weave of the arm through and around the opponent’s legs that defines the pass.
Etymology. “Leg weave” describes threading an arm between and around the legs to bundle them; the full “pass” is often dropped in speech. The term is mechanical and lineage-neutral, shared across passing systems.
Mechanics. Weaving the arm through the legs disrupts their structural resistance, tying them together so they cannot post or frame independently; with the legs’ defensive structure broken down, the passer drives the bundled limbs aside and advances.
Cross-reference. “Arm weave pass” is a sibling alias. Full mechanical coverage on Leg Weave Pass.
